NARS The Multiple Duo Review
The Multiple has always been one of the cult products in the beauty industry and now NARS has combined two Multiples in a compact to give you the Multiple Duo ($45) that is available only for a limited period of time.
Encased in the NARS signature black, mirrored compact about the size of the Holiday eyeshadow palette (which I <3 btw), the Multiple Duo can be used on the eyes, lips and cheeks. All colors are super lightweight, great to blend and create such a nice, subtle glow to the face.
I have Orgasm/South Beach, which consists of a shimmery peachy pink paired with a shimmery apricot. While Orgasm looks great as a blush on my NC30 skin, I find South Beach to be the winner in this pair. It looks great as a wash on the eyelids, on the hollows of the cheeks for just the right amount of contouring and along the bridge of the nose as a highlighter.
The product also comes in 4 other gorgeous pairs:
*Copacabana/St. Barts – Glistening pearl/taupe shimmer
*Maldives/Riviera – Pink champagne with shimmer/pink
*Portofino/Malibu – Shimmering coral/pinkish brown
*Maui/Palm Beach – Dusty rose/rich bronze
I have never really been a fan of multi-use cream products but the Multiple Duo has definitely got me converted. Copacabana/St. Barts will be my next duo!
Hi Phyllis! I saw an article about you and your blog in a chinese magazine! Just letting you know
Hey Phyllis!
I’m just wondering if you know whether or not MAC and NARS have any boxing day special? Thanks!

Tammy,
Yes I did an interview with Ming Pao =) How did it turn out?
Those colors look gorgeous! I love NARS products.
The duo you have looks gorgeous on you! A pretty, sheen glow. And your contacts just make your eyes pop!! ♥
My sister has a multiple that she has been using for years – lasts forever. Would definitely buy this if it weren’t so pricey. You’ve tempted me – will have to check it out some more at the store..
I have Copacabana/St. Barts! I love it, but I find that the duos apply much more sheerly than the original multiples. I feel that the original ones are also much more creamy, but I love having two colors in one compact thing. Speaking of the compact, its surprisingly big!
I love this look! it’s girly and healthy but definitely not overdone! u look really nice! ^^
Everytime I walk into Sephora, I always try this duo on… and it looks perfect on my skin.. but yet I couldn’t fork out the money to actually buy it
maybe this will be my first purchase in 2009! I want Riviera and Maldives as well!
Merry Christmas btw… going back to Hong Kong tomorrow and let me know if you need anything
Ohh those colors are amazing & it look so beautiful on you! my skin isn’t as clear as yours so sometimes I feel a bit reserved about glitter/shimmery blushes. actually blush in general. i unno sometimes I feel like it’s bringing more attention to the brown acne scar/discoloration i’m trying to get rid of on my cheeks when I have blush on, you know? I’m working hard on clearing up my skin though! so one day…one day…
ur skin look fab!!!!!!!!
what products are you using?
I bought this yesterday and I like this a lot! The guy I’m dating told me that I looked “pretty” today…I owe it to the Nars orgasm blush….and to you! Very subtle and luminous. I am off the China/HK tomorrow, is there any stores that you recommend I go to? I am really into skincare and would like some tips on what to buy. Sigh, I want skin like yours, it’s so perfect. Please email me when you get the chance. I’m sure you hear this all the time, but I love your blog and I think you are incredible!!!!!
p.s. i like the cream blush much better than the powder blush. The application is more natural . Phyllis, do you have any tips on how to “prep” the cream blush? I use bb (blue tube) then I apply the cream blush after that. However, i have some red spots (born with it) that still show up. Tips please ?
Thanks Gwen =) I’m using the following:
* Shills Super Magic BB cream (I just started using this and I <3 it! Will do a review soon!)
* NARS Multiple Duo in Orgasm/South (South Beach on eyelids and hollows of cheeks, Orgasm as a blush)
* Ipum False Lashes on top
* MAC Penultimate Liner in Rapidblack to line
* Anastasia Highlighting Brow Kit to fill in eyebrows
* MAC Lip Conditioner
Which contact lense brand/color are you using….it looks gorgeous…
Sanerz,
I’m wearing FreshKon’s color contacts in Aqua.
Is that south beach in the hollows of your cheeks? Cos girl, those cheekbones look awesome! I need to find a way of doing that =D
Sammie,
Yes I’m wearing South Beach on the hollows with Orgasm along the cheekbones.
Leave your response!
